Twelfth Night: Or what you will - Part 13

IMDB
Brother and sister Viola and Sebastian, who are not only very close but look a great deal alike, are in a shipwreck, and both think the other dead. When she lands in a foreign country, Viola dresses as her brother and adopts the name Cesario, becoming a trusted friend and confidante to the Count Orsino. Orsino is madly in love with the lady Olivia, who is in mourning due to her brother's recent death, which she uses as an excuse to avoid seeing the count, whom she does not love. He sends Cesario to do his wooing, and Olivia falls in love with the disguised maiden. Things get more complicated in this bittersweet Shakespeare comedy when a moronic nobleman, Sir Andrew Aguecheek, and a self-important servant, Malvolio, get caught up in the schemes of Olivia's cousin, the obese, alcoholic Sir Toby, who leads each to believe Olivia loves him. As well, Sebastian surfaces in the area, and of course there is Feste, the wise fool, around to keep everything in perspective and to marvel, like we the audience, at the amazing things happening all around.

I like how Antonio was easily forgiven. Orsino's like "oh let him go. this is a happy, beautiful moment!"

"I shall have share in this most happy wreck" = "I'm gonna f... your sister real hard".

[Occeanicora]

Yeah, heterosexual denouement... Would have been funnier if Olivia had chosen Viola at the end and Orsino had prefered Sebastian, but I supposed Shakespeare did'nt think of that :)

[ChiliPeppz]

I'm slightly concerned.. I find Cesario more attractive than Sebastian :/

[Geoffrotism]

orsino looks like such a creep here, he goes from loving olivia to thinking "hey well i guess now that ceasrio is really a girl... ill take what i can get!"

[TheMunchfan]

Aw, poor Malvolio... I know he's the "bad guy," but I feel SO sorry for him! And Olivia's face! O_O Except with her mouth open....
